Ubuntu doesn't need virtual machine for apps unalike Android, that's the main difference. Since both OSs are Linux - there may be an emulator released for Ubuntu or devs will simply repack the existing apps for Ubuntu. Shouldn't take much work, plus it'll be done anyway when Ubuntu releases the full version and it enters the market like FireFox OS is slowly doing now

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhall119:
It is the same Ubuntu, same packages (compiled for arm) and same package system. The only difference between Ubuntu Touch and Ubuntu Desktop is that Ubuntu Touch uses Android's SurfaceFlinger instead of X11, and is running the Unity 8 shell instead of Unity 7. By 14.04, however, both the desktop and touch versions should have the same version of Unity and the same display server (Mir, instead of X11 or SurfaceFlinger)

There are no plans to provide an Android-compatible JVM on Ubuntu Touch. If Google wants to provide one, then it might happen, otherwise we would be constantly playing catchup like Wine is.

Can we run android apps in ubuntu touch. And can we develope android apps by installing android sdk in ubuntu touch on galaxy tab 2 p3100
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RumoredNow:
No...

There are no plans for mimicking Dalvik in Ubuntu Touch at this point and Canonical won't be taking on such a project from the way interviews reveal their strategy. They want Developers to rewrite Apps, or write new ones, which are native to UT. That doesn't prevent a third party from making compatibility ware.

Who said what now?

I suppose it is theoretically possible as anything that runs on Ubuntu desktop is supposed to run on UT (Convergence, baby!!!), but that seems a horribly inefficient way of going about it. Installing Android SDK and running the emulators to test App functionality takes a fair bit of system resources.

linux is no OS.LINUX IS ONLY THE KERNELL,ubuntu and mint are OS.

android is a OS that uses the linux kernell,so yes its using linux and no it is not linux like ubuntu isn't linux either.

the GUI and I/O control and things like that are customized for using by user. just running the kernell wont get you anyware, its just the base

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YMatrix:
Hey,

So I went on a drive today, connected my phone to the car charger (Samsung cad300ube Galaxy S Advance charger) and drove away.

I had my phone connected to my BT headset, GPS was on with waze and off course mobile data was enabled (I'm connected to the charger, so why not :p).

To my surprise, instead of seeing the battery go up, it went down!

I checked to see that it was connected and no cable problems (the phone said it was attached to charger and charging), but still the battery was draining. So I wanted to see maybe my charger was broken, so I closed Waze and continued my drive, this time the battery did charge, meaning with all the above options enabled the phone was still discharging even though connected to the charger.

So now the question is, why?

I checked the charger specs (output: 5V DC, 700 mA).

So my guess is 2 things, either my charger isn't giving this output (any way to check this from the phone?), or there is some bug in the kernel when so many modules are draining the battery (I am using Cocore E4.0).

Any advice?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_r_davies:
Hi all,

I was given a Tab 2 10.1 (P5110) for my birthday only last month and have rooted, installed CWM 6 and CM10.1 snapshot M1. Everything's been running very smoothly so far, however last night I left the Tab on charge and woke up this morning to a completely unresponsive device.

After extensive searching I've found many forum posts suggesting various remedies such as holding the power button for various lengths of time (10, 15, 60 seconds), with and without pressing the volume up/down buttons, when plugged into the charger and not. I've tried all combinations I can think of but the thing seems to be totally dead :crying:

I have no way of knowing if it has somehow got itself into a very very deep sleep and just can't be kicked out of it, or if it's turned itself off and just won't come back on for whatever reason. Plugging in the charger

doesn't

bring up the charging battery display that you would usually see if it was turned off completely, which leads me to think that it's just in some weird deep sleep mode; either that or the screen has died so it is operating normally but I just can't see a damn thing.

Has anybody seen behaviour like this with their Tab2 before (or anything similar), and if so, did they find a solution? Obviously if it's a hardware fault (mobo, battery etc.) then it's still under warranty, that's a bit of a last resort though as warranty repairs can take weeks and I'd rather not be without my new toy for that length of time. Also without being able to power the thing up means I can't restore the stock recovery and ROM and use Triangle Away to wipe the flash counter to hide the fact I've flashed a custom ROM.

Any assistance will be

very

gratefully received!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrao_n:
Has the tab been bumped at all. Unlikely but the cable from the screen could have been knockedbout of place. Definately looks like its a warranty issue for defective hardware. Push and hold power for 15 seconds. Then connect it to your computer. Bring up odin. Do not load anything in odin. Just look at the box where it shows the com port. It should light up with a number. Mine shows a number with my device in normal operation. If it doesnt then sorry but you need to talk to samsung. Also have you used a different usb cord? Maybe yours was faulty?

[TUTORIAL AND REPLACEMENT SCREEN FILES BELLOW]

Okay, so if anyone here is like me, they prefer their tiles on their phone to match the UI.

And if you are also dev unlocked and have apps like WP7RootTools or Splash Changer, you know that what I said previous to this sentence is not gonna happen.

However, I found an easy fix! Since homebrew and unencrypted apps can be opened as zip files in a utility such as WinRAR or 7zip, I learned you could replace the splash screen and tiles with your own.

So this thread is for those Metro made replacement tiles and splashes, as well as a tutorial on how to change them.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] DustinWolf:
Tutorial

What you will need

WinRar

(unencrypted) XAP of app you are replacing the splash and tiles

replacement splash and tiles

Windows 7 or Windows 8 Pro

Windows Phone SDK

Windows Phone PowerTools (for XAP "Update" feature.) (Optional)

Zune for Windows

Step 1

Take the xap that we will be changing (WP7Root Tools for the sake of this tutorial) and open it in WinRAR

(you can use "open with..." or you can even do as I did and set WinRAR as the default handler for XAP files.)

WinRAR will proceed to open it as a zip file

Step 2

Open the folder where the (extracted) replacement splash images are contained and highlight them, then click copy or press ctrl + c

(Note: Filenames may vary depending on the App. Programs built for 7.8 and up may have slightly different names from those for 7.5)

Step 3

Go back into WinRAR. Press Ctrl + V or click "Paste file from clipboard" from the FILE menu

Step 4

Close WinRAR and open Zune.

Then connect your phone, wait for it to register in Zune, then open *Windows Phone Power Tools.

In Power Tools, click "Connect"

Then in the area where there is a text box with "XAP Path" above it, there will be a "browse" button beside it. Click it.

Select your XAP that we replaced the icons and splash for previously.

then click "Update"

And when its finished you have now refreshed the look of the tiles and splash screen of your app!

*Note: Power tools is unnecessary. you can sideload like normal, but at times at the expense of your data for the app.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Rataplan:
Nice one thanks,

This is my way,

I use 7z.

- Rightclick on the xap

- Choose open archive

- Select the image and move it to your desktop

Be aware you do not close the xap.

- Edit the image, and move it back to the xap.

- Close 7z and save the xap.

That's it. :D

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
Due to recent updates, I've decided to remove the option to install Hashcode's 2nd bootloader. There are too many areas where things can go wrong so I think it would be best to let the user follow the small handful of instructions in the 2nd bootloader thread to get it done. IMO, it is not worth the risk to rely on the user to make sure a downgraded stock bootloader is installed before running the script. Plus I think using a script toinstall the downgraded bootloader gives users a false sense of safety in what is potentially very dangerous to do.
​

​

ROOT PLUS for 2nd Generation Kindle Fires

That's right. This works for ALL 2nd generation Kindle Fires

What does it do?

The screenshot above should answer that question pretty quickly.

What do you need to know?

Since Hashcode's bootloader hack is device specific, you must download the version for your device. Each one has the exact same script but the stack, boot and recovery images are different for each particular device. You must have the SoupKit installed for this to work properly. It installs in the same way as the SoupKit; unzip, double click, run in terminal, blah blah.

Make sure you have ADB enabled under “Security” in the settings.

Anything else?

At any point after installation, if you need to run the utility again, just type "rootplus" in the terminal.

What's next?

I have a few more things in store for you guys and they will all be made for the SoupKit. As packages are installed, just type the name of the package in any terminal to launch them at any point (hence "modular"). Everything will be easy to install, easy to launch, and new user friendly.

Don't be skerrd. Move out of your comfort zone a little and give Linux and SoupKit a try. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I'm stuck on installing the bootloader option 6. It back up the kfhd7 then go to installing stacks. There I get a line that is "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - No such file or directory" the kindle reboots. And that's were it stuck saying...< waiting for device >
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
For now, use the restore option to restore the partitions that were saved when you chose the option to install the bootloader hack and TWRP.

In the meantime, I need to know what software version you're using, and whether or not you have edited your build.prop. Also, after you restore your system, use adb to access the shell and list the contents of your /system/etc directory and post it here.

adb shell su -c "ls /system/etc"
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zuke66:
When I do a restore it reboots then stop at "waiting for device"
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
Okay, a few questions...

Do you have normal use of the device? Does it boot normally? Have you rebooted yet (if not, don't)

You still haven't told me what software version you are running or whether or not you've edited your build.prop...

What Linux distro/version are you using?

Is your Linux install a full install, LiveUSB, or VM?

Is it 32 or 64 bit?

Are you using a USB 3.0 port?

Do you have a factory cable?

Hello, I'm stuck at step 6. Until "installing stack" it works fine, but than came some "not a directory" Alerts. See here:

http://pastebin.com/3rk4Vksh

Even setting it manualy with a rebooter-app in fastboot mode dosn't works, because it was not listed.

My System: Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon 64 bit (regular install). I dosn't have a fastboot cable yet, but the rebooter app. I think this is the point. The tool want to reboot it into fastboot, but it wants to boot normally.

Edit: I testet my fastboot with the instructons fron the 2nd bootloader tread and it works. But I have to boot normally and than rebooting it from the app into fastboot mode.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
When did you download this? The most recent version installs the 2nd bootloader through the shell, not fastboot. And was your device rooted before trying to install the 2nd bootloader?

[Edit:] I think I see what the problem might be. Download this copy of the RootPlus script, place it in your ~/bin/SoupKit/files folder and replace the one that's already there. Let me know if that makes a difference and I'll upload an updated version.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Panixy:
It was the same, but I found the error. The directory tmp and the file install-recovery.sh were withe a .bak below. Just renamed and it should work.

Edit: it was succsessfull ^^
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
Renaming install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak is a necessary part of the recovery install. Why your tmp directory was renamed, I couldn't say. I'm looking at the script now and I don't see anything of the sort. I'll keep looking at it to see if anything stands out at me.

either way, thank you for all the work that you do
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
Everything will work safely on 7.3.0 EXCEPT FOR installing the 2nd bootloader. You need to flash the previous version's bootloader first. Just use the instructions in the 2nd bootloader thread and you'll be fine.

As a matter of fact, I will probably remove that option for safety reasons anyway. It is kind of pointless to have it scripted IMO.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Herc08:
Hmm. I will figure it out. Thanks though.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Herc08:
So just to clarify. I will use this script to do everything except the boot loader. Then go to the other thread and flash the boot loader?
